the timing of the movie is really interesting. when we are moving towards trying to become aware of extra dimensions (4th time, do we really know time?), 5th and on, with technological experiments and such, like the one in colorado recently, sorry couldn't find the link, and the approaching turning of an age, maybe it is time for us to become aware of all that is in the next set of dimensions. Watch 'the adventures of buckaroo banzi', with peter weller, for a laugh and a look at the physics of the 8th dimention. <p></p><i></i>

I remember this book from when I was in junior high. I wish I could go into the 2nd dimension, unlike people who are longing for the 4th, 5th, and other "higher" dimensions. What's so bad about going down a level or two? <p></p><i></i>
